Promotion Pursuer Pillows

'Why was I passed over for the C.F.O. position?'

'And along with your promotion you get a key to the executive bedroom.'

"Oh no. It's another death caused by 'economy pack syndrome'!"

"You've got your corner office, so what more do you want?"

"You call that high, Mr Raskin?"

"If you're going to ask for a raise, I suggest buttering him up with a catnip toy first."

The Carrot and the Wheel

'Do I have to spell it out for you?'

'It's not you I lust after. It's your office.'

The March to the Top

'I want to reach the number one spot at Google.'

'I was in demo software mode when you hired me. After 3 months I stop working unless you give me a raise.'

'Just a minute Simkins, I have that letter of application for promotion here somewhere...'

'I didn't get the raise... but I don't have to laugh at his jokes anymore.'

Upward Progress

'Ah, Gripes, you want to discuss a raise with me, eh? Come in, sit down, make yourself comfortable!'

Partner Track

"Well, ordinary men have colleagues. Successful men have victims."

So which rung are you on my corporate ladder?

Or as I prefer to call it, the 'feel-good' factor.

"You've proven your worth a hundred times over. Let's try for a thousand."

"Sorry, we've found an app that's better at being you than you!"

'You really want that promotion, don't you, Sherman?'

"I just want you to know that promotion, this office, and those Luna bars were mine!"

Career opportunities

'You're going to have to work your way up to the ground floor like everyone else.'

'I hear you got your increase.' - 'Yes, that proves my theory, if you whine enough, you get anything you want.'

'Parsloe, your desk is blocking the corporate food chain.'

'I'm moving up to be Chairperson-of-the-board. One of you will be President.' (Men have fencing swords).

"Pardon me, but why is there no ceiling this office?"

'By the time I climbed up to this job, I was too tired to do it.'

'How come, unlike some other bosses, you never surprise me with little promotions?'

'I chose my field on what would put the most impressive initials after my name.'

"Why do you always assume I'm going down?"
